Stair remodel advice please

Rachel Nye
hace 5 años
Hi. Wanting to remodel stairs to get rid of orange oak. Would like to paint railings and posts white (possibly handrails too as it seems easier). Curious what to do with the bottom area where the rails attach (paint white?). The biggest dilemma will be the threads, landing and hall. Ideally would like to match the flooring throughout house (Bella Cera Maple). But with all the bedrooms being upstairs and a house full of kids not seeing time to sand and stain to match. Possibly just covering hallway/landing with new floors and getting new treads would be the best for our situation. Thanks for any tips/advice. (also wanting to repaint accent wall any SW color advice would be great.)

    So I had a painter paint my handrails and various accent pieces...it was pretty expensive and I don’t have wood risers (mine are carpet). It looks nice for time being but it didn’t do exactly what I wanted, which was to modernize the staircase. My spindles are still traditional looking and no paint will fix that. So before you do anything, I’d start with painting the walls. You’d get a big bang for your buck by changing the wall color, in my opinion one color throughout would look better for flow and really open your house up. Here are my stairs, before they painted it was solid white. It took 2 days to paint with 2 guys and was $1600 I think. It’s because it is very time consuming. There is no way I would have attempted it myself, and I have painted a lot of stuff in my house, I’m a pretty seasoned DIY-er. I just knew this project was way too big for me.

      Hi Rachel,
      I have a design build firm here in Jacksonville Florida. I generally would advise you to lightly sand everything first ( rails, post and the banister trim) to break the varnish. Then use a liquid sander deglosser to help break the varnish down even more. Wipe everything clean with a tack cloth. Apply a primer coat of gripper primer usually made by kilz. Then after that drys apply your top coat of oil base. If your on a tight budget. Sanding the treads is most likely the best coarse of action to take. Any floor refinishers know the process and can make it appear the same. The issue is that the material varies from oak to maple. I hope that helps and your project goes s

      You're more then welcome and good luck. I know floor refinishing is daunting. However to remove all the treads and to replace with new could get costly.

      Karen that looks great! So no accent color on those walls? Just go with the rest of the house color? It was wallpaper before....

      Yes, all one color. It will flow so much better you’ll see!
